Disgraced former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to force the Taliban to sit down and watch women’s football until they disregard their religious beliefs and learn to appreciate women’s sports. Seriously.
Johnson, who was Prime Minister during the calamitous loss of Kabul to the Taliban in August 2020, argues he would strap the “bigoted and chauvinistic” Taliban into chairs until they understand the excitement that comes along with women’s soccer, regardless of whether they show skin or not. His ludicrous comments came in his latest Daily Mail column, for which the former Prime Minister is understood to earn at least $100,000 a year, writing one (often nonsensical) article per week.
“I would force the quivering men of this all-male government to accept the key point: that the skill and courage of the Lionesses [the English women’s soccer team] are admired by everyone,” Johnson wrote, before adding that the current lack of women’s soccer in Afghanistan is enough to “make you weep.”
The former “Conservative” Party leader went on to defend himself and President Joe Biden over the fall of Kabul on August 15, which witnessed the deaths of more than a dozen American soldiers and hundreds of Afghan civilians, suggesting that Donald Trump was to blame:
“I also understand that Joe Biden felt he had no good choices. His predecessor, Donald Trump, had already agreed to pull out every last American soldier, bar none… What was Biden’s alternative?”
Recent revelations leave the blame solely on the American security apparatus’ doorstep, rather than that of the 45th President, as the Pentagon knew an attack on the Kabul airport was imminent, yet nearly nothing was done by the Biden regime to avert the disaster.
